Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live baseball game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.

Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.

Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)

Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

shame on Do No Harm. i’m actually like the show (haha)
what a waste “post Super-Bowl” slot foe Elementary! this disaster show (because Jonny Lee Miller makes Sherlock Holmes look stupid and freaking annoying) likely will survive this year but not next season.

Wow – Elementary got a huuuuuge post Superbowl boost. Not.

Genuine wow at Scandal. A sure fire, growing hit. A rarity these days and at ten especially.

TBBT is ridiculously huge. And AI is not anymore but its still a big hit.

Glad to see Greys up a tad. I hope it adjusts up in the finals.

@CrimTV – You are correct, Glee did better over last week.

Ignore @Big Brother is delusional – Glee will be renewed.

Petar Ivanov

Big time mistake from CBS. POI without post super bowl slot and with zero promotion during super bowl is again #2 broadcast drama and #2 CBS drama only behind NCIS. THey should imagine what will be with proper atvertising on POI or heavy promotion like abc-scandal or fox-the following.

Its so hot and so good. Shame for them.

The Voice episode #5 last season had a 4.7 rating while Idol has a 4.4
The Voice episode #6 last season had a 4.4 rating while Idol has a 4.1

WOW

@max
dont u think that the revenge bashing is getting a little old, okay your show did great and its finally getting the promotion it deserves but can u just stop with the revenge bashing now that u got what u want geez grow and sometimes i wonder if u even watch scandal or if u just hate revenge so much. i never seen someone have as much hatred for a show as u, its just a show, are u just obessesed with or do u hate it so much. im a fan of both revenge and scandal their both pretty good shows.

@matt amount of viewers mean Nothing its all about the demo and that demo says Friday night next season so they don’t have to cancel all there new shows

There are many things that fascinate me when I read these blog comments

1. This blog is quite behind the times and still has no quality ‘reply’ functionality – that’s just sad

2. People taking glee in one show doing bad or another doing well – people who think others ‘hate’ their shows

3. People STILL not understanding how the ratings work even after reading this blog for a while

4. People care so much about a tv show like it matters – I just enjoy poking bears

Dan

Holy S*** Community. Wow, if it holds up it may actually get renewed for a fifth season.

XXX

Floppy and the Flop down, again.

Mike

It would be nice, symbolically, for NBC if Parks & Rec could top The Office one of the weeks. A “changing of the guard” moment.

Mon

Oh, how times have changed! Two years ago, you would hear “TBBT did well against Idol.” Now it’s “Idol did well against TBBT.” Kudos The Big Bang Theory!

Elementary did okay. But CBS must have been expecting at least high2s, right? At this rate, I can’t see Elementary reaching season 3 unless it moves to Friday after season 2. Too bad, I would like this show to succeed for Lucy Liu. She’s beautiful and awesome.

Petar Ivanov

ps I have nothing against Elementary. Its good show. Just not the hit that deserve SB slot in my opinion. But Elementary fans should be happy will be renew 100%. Its save.

“Parks” is almost certainly getting another season. There’s pretty much no reason not to renew it now, considering it is doing kind of well, especially by NBC standards. What might the reason for this be? Is it…gasp..actually growing relative to what it’s been doing this season?

Also, DAMN at “TBBT.” It’s really slapping “AI” around. And good for ABC and Scandal.

João Paulo

TBBT is very high
POI rules

Dan

1600 Penn and Do No Harm are both dead soon but still wow at Community.

John_M

Big time mistake from CBS. POI without post super bowl slot and with zero promotion during super bowl is again #2 broadcast drama and #2 CBS drama only behind NCIS

The mistake is airing something that is ‘already’ a hit after the super bowl – it’s a large audience you should try to capitalize on with shows that could use a boost – your logic is flawed. If POI is already ‘a hit’ on CBS – why use it after the super bowl when other shows need it more.

cas

@Max
Exactly on point that Revenge is going against the Grammy’s, therefore, when it does hit a low, it is because of that. Get over it, as both shows can be renewed.
On a different note, why would ABC put new shows on a night when the Grammy’s are on?

Mr Mumble

The silence from the Community haters is deafening

NBC should just air ‘classic’ episodes of “The Office” as a ‘tribute’ to the shows’ ‘historic’ run in place of 1600 Penn.

@Billy, I see what you’re saying about 1.8s being celebrated but the 8pm timeslot is where CBS, Fox and CW are running their no.1 programming in.
